CollegeBikeShop.com has developed the best online order tracking system in the powersports industry! To view the status of any of your orders, just log in to your account at CollegeBikeShop.com You will be able to see every order you have placed with CollegeBikeShop.com along with the status of each item ordered.
Back to topCombining Orders / Adding Items to Your Order
Unfortunately orders cannot be combined nor can items be added to an existing order. The CollegeBikeShop.com system automatically routes orders to our suppliers based on their previous performance. This means that two orders from the same customer placed seconds apart may actually be routed to and filled by two different suppliers. We cannot add parts into an existing order because CollegeBikeShop.com does not store credit card data online for security purposes.
Back to topCanceling an Order
If you need to cancel an order (or a part of an order) just contact us Please be sure to provide us with the order ID! CollegeBikeShop.com works hard to fill orders in the shortest amount of time possible. Orders for OEM parts may be canceled with no restocking fee within one hour of being placed. After one hour, canceled orders for OEM parts are subject to restocking fees of 15% of the merchandise value. Orders for all other parts may be canceled with no restocking fee provided the order hasn't already entered the shipping process!
Why does CollegeBikeShop.com charge restocking fees on canceled OEM parts orders? We return all canceled OEM parts to the manufacturer and in doing so face two charges: the cost to return the item to the manufacturer and a restocking fee charged to us by the manufacturer. CollegeBikeShop.com will cover this return shipping expense but we pass on a portion of the restocking fee charged to us by the manufacturer.
